On October 13, 2023, the Israeli military ordered the evacuation of 22 hospitals in #Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip. That day marked the start of an unprecedented assault on Gaza’s health system. - Over the following 22 months, Israel systematically targeted Gaza’s medical infrastructure—bombing 33 of 36 hospitals and clinics, cutting off fuel and water, and killing or detaining over 1,800 medical staff. - Today, we are releasing a position paper that documents this assault for what it is: a deliberate, cumulative dismantling of Gaza’s health system and, with it, the population’s ability to survive. This is #genocide. - The position paper shows how Israel destroyed the very conditions necessary for life, through direct attacks on hospitals, obstruction of medical aid and evacuations, and the targeting of healthcare personnel. This is not collateral damage or a side effect of war. It is the systematic creation of unlivable conditions. It is the denial of survivability. - Governments and the international community must act now: press for a ceasefire, restore Gaza’s health system, enable aid access, protect medical workers and stop the genocide. - To read the report – see the first comment.
